MINNEAPOLIS– The Trump campaign says that the venue for the president’s forthcoming campaign rally has been fully approved, and the rally will go on as scheduled. This following the threat of a lawsuit after it says city leaders tried to force the campaign to foot a hefty bill for beefed up security at Target Center.The Trump campaign earlier said Minneapolis billed Target Center upwards of $530,000 for security for the visit and the venue was trying to pass that cost onto the campaign. In a press release, the campaign included a letter in which it threatened to sue Target Center. After the Trump campaign said the venue was fully approved,

Minneapolis would welcome a Somalian Warlord with open arms, but tries to block their own president from visiting the city. Looks like the Commie mayor backed down.

it'd be a shame to have 50,000 AMERICANS blocking every street in Mogadapolis
for eight hours during the middle of the day..
oh.. sorry.. that's done by BLM and Antifa..
except they do it with about THIRTY terrorists..

My question would be - does the city charge for security for other politicians ? I don’t think it’s wrong to charge the campaign if the policy is consistent.
Working in EMS, I know what smaller events do to our manpower requirements and to our ability to respond to calls for service. This would be a much greater event with a much larger need for resources. Minneapolis has a much larger labor pool to rely on but in the end, an event like this is taxing on fire, EMS and LE. I hope things go well. I believe I heard that Antifa will be making an appearance.

I love it when a reporter does some digging to enhance a report:
WCCO’s Mary McGuire did look into the costs surrounding previous rallies, and found that for a rally held in June 2018, the city of Duluth did not invoice the Trump campaign or the White House for $69,000 in public safety costs. For a rally in October 2018, the city of Rochester was paid $112,000 by the Trump campaign for use of the Mayo Civic Center. The city also incurred $93,000 in expenses for police, fire, parks, and public works.
That is a far cry from $530,000+++.

Last month, Frey said he didn’t want Trump in the city. On Tuesday morning, the young mayor and Trump got into a Twitter feud, with the president calling Frey a “lightweight” and Frey saying that billionaire reality TV star can certainly afford to pay city officers for their overtime efforts.
As usual, PDJT is right. Go and find Frey’s photo. He even looks like a lightweight. Kind of a Swalwell type without the necktie...

Frey was going to charge Target Center… then they were going to backcharge the Trump campaign. Minneapolis LE, etc., saying it will be an “all hands” affair and Target Center is also hiring security. It’s my guess that some of the advance huzzah about protests is just that. Intended to scare people away. There aren’t that many Somalis in Minneapolis… just a ghetto...

sorry #6
not sure where YOU hang out in Mogadapolis,
but the somalis have not only taken over the Cedar - Riverside area
of the U of M, but have now taken over Middle Lake Street
with their "markets" and section 8 housing
i am down there every week near their Karamel Islamic Center
and Karmel Mall
i aver that Boy Mayor Frey will be challenged by...
Ilhan..
who would beat him like a Somali drum..
Frey is a rich Jewish silver-spooner.. from.. Oakton, Virginia, a Washington, D.C. suburb..
a super lightweight, he will easily be replaced by a hardline bolshevist or..
Ilhan..
the somalis are now the largest voting bloc in mpls..

No comments from Rep Omar?
I would love to see Antifa in a clash with the Secret Service. That would trim their numbers significantly. What does security cost for a democrat candidate, about $1.98?
